Calamagrostis x acutiflora Karl Foerster, in a vase on Monday, Miscanthus sinensis, November, rhei radix pulveratum, Rudbeckia fulgida, Verbena hastata
Cathy invited us to join her today, her sixth year as host of in a vase. Well done Cathy. The criteria today is six inches, tiny!
I started like this with Calamagrostis and miscanthus seed heads and added verbena and Rudbeckia. The light on my desk was ok but not as good as on the hearth of the fireplace.
A bit of shortening and rearranging gave me this to share:
A Japanese micro pot with Miscanthus sinensis, Calamagrostis, Verbena hastata and a single seed head from Rudbeckia lacinata.
Thank you for hosting Cathy. I have no idea how you find the time each Monday. Taking part makes us inspect and enjoy our garden in a different way and it is thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for reading and have a good week wherever you are. D.
Very minimalist and evocative for this month. We already had to light the stoves, it’s cold out there. Happy November days 🙂
It is definitely winter weather now and the burner is on most evenings. Hoping the snow doesn’t spread.
Oh, I like this very much, Dorris. Simple, yet elegant, in the lovely pottery vase. I like the shadows cast by the sun, giving us a double arrangement.
You’ve triggered a memory of a clay handmade pot that I’ve yet to showcase…hmmm, maybe next week… 😉
Thank you Eliza it was so nice to have a dry bright day. I look forward to seeing your clay pot next week.
The light and shade in the fireplace reflects the monochrome shades of the seedheads and the delightful Japanese pot. Love your pebbles/fossils too 🙂 Thanks for your continued support of the meme – it is a pleasure to dedicate a few hours each Monday to foster the friendship of IAVOM (and the time on Sunday to create a vase and write the post, of course!)
Thanks Cathy. Here’s to the next 6 then!
Very atmospheric with the light shining in and creating lovely shadows. Love your Japanese vase!
Thank you Cathy
Lovely shades of brown and different textures too, all in miniature.
Thanks Chloris
This is so beautiful Doris, and I love the neutral colour scheme.
Thank you and hello!
Hi Doris! Have a great day.
I love seedheads and can’t grow Miscanthus this far south….Happy Monday
Thanks and you can grow some beauties that I can only dream about
Same here.😀
I knew yours would be the elegant one…the light too is in keeping, or should I say the vase suits the situation perfectly.
That’s a nice thing to say. Thank you!
So pretty. I love the range of grays.
Thank you. I had not realised quite how monochrome it was. Thankfully it worked.
Did the dear little pot come from Japan – delightful!
Thanks Sandra. It is Japanese but it came from the lovely Darsham Nurseries in Suffolk.
This theme on this meme really shows off small flowers that normally don’t get noticed much. Others featured yarrow and fleabane.
My fleabane has stopped flowering and gone into winter mode
